Ingredients

    Yellow Split Peas, 16 oz
    Turmeric (ground), 1 tsp
    Coriander (ground), 1 tsp
    Garam Masala, 1 tsp
    Sugar, 2 tsp
    Butter, salted, 1/2 stick
    Mustard seed, 1 tsp
    Cumin seed, 1 tsp
    Cardamon, 5 pods
    Clove, 5 whole
    Cinnamon , 1 stick
    Chili powder, 1/8 tsp
    Coconut (shredded, sweetened) 3 tbsp
    Salt, 3 tsp

Directions

Bring yellow split peas, turmeric, and 10-12 cups water to a boil. Partially cover pot with lid and let simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes until the split peas are well cooked.

Mash or puree the split pea mixture and add coriander, garam masala, and sugar.

In a pan, fry mustard seeds and cumin seeds in butter until seeds "pop." Add cardamon, cloves, cinnamon stick, chili powder, and coconut and fry for a minute or two.

Add butter mixture to split pea mixture. Add salt. Slowly simmer, adding water as needed so that mixture doesn't turn thick, for at least 10 minutes. Simmer longer if mixture is too thin.

Remove cardamon, cinnamon, and cloves with spoon or strain the entire mixture.
